[@shawnhinton12]

I am a 51 year old AA female, and I can honestly say, this song transcends any and all generation and racial barriers. Randy’s voice sounds like an Angel, so smooth and comforting. I would like for this song to be played at my home going celebration, in dedication to my sons, when the Lord calls me home. I absolutely love this and Forever and Ever, Amen. God bless you Mr Travis, thank you for sharing your beautiful God-given talents. ❤❤❤

[@nickrockway472]

it is transcendental. it's a common language, devoid of elitism. i've become a big fan of this guy lately. thanks for your perspective!

[@deploribusrex4480]

That's what music's all about :)

[@tabathabrabham2384]

BLESSED 🙏 to say that I got to see Randy twice in concert...one in the Summer of 88 in Nebraska on summer vacation....then a year or so later here, at home in Savannah Ga

[@codefk8711]

Sounds just like the radio version! I work in music for a living, and this is incredibly rare to have someone sound almost identical to their recording, while singing live

[@kaitlynh2574]

How interesting! Randy Travis has one of my all time favourite voices

[@trevordoocey7969]

Hi there It's Trev Dec singer songwriter here just to say hello and could you go on KZbin and put Trev Dec singing and you will hear me sing a randy Travis song let me know what you think please thanks Declan

[@nathanaeldavenport2251]

When I saw him live about 20 years ago, I was really impressed with how it all sounded like he was in the studio. But yeah, there are some subtle differences here... for some reason the fiddle is inaudible some of the time. The cheesy synth in place of the harmonica. And the steel guitar doing the intro instead of a dobro.

[@trevordoocey7969]

Hi it's Trev Dec singer songwriter hear please can you put Trev Dec singing and you will hear my songs thanks Declan love randy Travis

[@wildyonder4161]

He’s like David Lee Murphy. Sound just like the radio or better live!

[@willc44]

Best Voice in County music 🎶

[@jd6899]

Graduated in '87. Every Friday and Saturday night was Randy and Hank Jr Marathon. Some of the greatest, times with my best friend and our girls. Lasted from final bell at school, jumping in the truck, till wtrapping it up for the night. His music was pure, honest and fun. That's unlike a few things we did on the weekends (whole different stories, for another time)

[@tabathabrabham2384]

Great times ❤

[@deploribusrex4480]

You can't replicate this. The emotion and the steadiness in the voice.

This is the real deal country music at it's best. 🎶

[@melissamorton1282]

I remember hearing this song with my ex-husband when we were together and we always joked about it because I grew up in the city, not the country like him and I said, "what is a holler?" He laughed about it for years and said that I was such a city girl lol

[@seamusblack5876]

One of the BEST Songs in Country Music sung by one of the best Singers We all have Problems by the way ...... I love you Randy and the joy your songs have given me since 1989

[@joshhannibal2267]

The most talented artists sound just alike or even better when they perform live, Randy Travis is definitely in that category. My Top 3 favorite Country Artist

[@PunkSka420]

Such a unique, beautiful voice. I'm still amazed EVERY time I hear him.

[@tiffanymorgan6562]

Damn stroke!

[@P51]

Randy is FULL of talent. In his later performances, he was much more charismatic. This is a great find and thanks for posting!

[@dannyzuko9686]

This is The Country I'd love to hear in The Radio not Those so Called Country with Rap Beats and Inappropriate Lyrics

[@seamusblack5876]

74,000 this is a classic video should have one million

[@andrewboore3899]

Wonderful voice with a soothing natural twang built for country music! Randy was a handsome young man to boot.

[@CMOutdoors1]

Best voice

[@SurvivalFarms]

Missed the chance to see him live due to a sick infant in 2002. I still regret not getting that opportunity 😢

[@deploribusrex4480]

this isn't the recorded version, but it just shows Randy's mastery. His rendition here is perfect.

Esta canción me cambió la vida en 1988.

[@mollyhickerson1546]

One of my favorite songs. He has a great voice and always chose the best songs for himself. Dolly shouldn't have took him out of the mountains though. It killed him to be in public like that.

[@whodatpat504]

[@dorenerussell2668]

Back before country turned garbage…..chew chew spit. Ugh.

[@ICsucks]

For sure one of my favorite songs of Randy travis. randy travis is one of the best singers of all time. He was always a natural. And he always tied with Keith whitley as having the best voice in country music. If Keith whitley would have lived he would have been amazing doing a duet with and working with randy travis
